Lazio

Thanks to its historical, artistic, archaeological and architectural heritage, Lazio is one of the most important regions for Italian culture. The extraordinary legacy hosted by the city of Rome is only part of the many points of interest represented by villages, churches, monasteries, monuments and archaeological sites in the area.

Not only is the historical centre of Rome protected by UNESCO, but other places in the territory are included in the list as World Heritage Sites: the Villa Adriana in Tivoli is a marvellous example of a suburban Roman Empire Villa, the Villa d’Este in the heart of the Tivoli countryside is a majestic Renaissance Residence and, in Cerveteri and Tarquinia towns, the Etruscan Necropolises are an exceptional testimony to the ancient Etruscan civilization.

Moreover, the ancient villages located along the coast or perched on the hills of Lazio surprise their visitors with the narrow streets and squares or with the traditional festivals and unveil a rich heritage that gives the visitor the opportunity to discover ancient history in the archaeological sites, abbeys, castles, in aristocratic villas and museums.
